Who buys your DC Xmas gifts?

[AlwaysHopefull89]

Am I wrong to feel upset that DH hasn’t even bought our DD 1 Xmas gift?! Or even bothered looking for her?

Yet he will sit there Xmas day and take all the credit as well… or is this standard??

how our bills are split:
DH pays for all mortgage
i contribute to bills - but DH pays majority.
I pay for all childcare/ nursery fees. All care items for DC.
i pay for the food shop every week- at least over £100 (can’t get lower)

am I wrong to expect a bit of help…?

I remember crying when my friend told me that her DH took a day off every year so they could go Christmas present shopping together.

Mine did nothing towards Christmas at all. Joint account but I bought everything; kids' presents, family presents, food... which I got to cook and wash up after too, lucky old me.

He's an ex, btw.

Presents are funded from our joint household account. I do all the effort of buying/wrapping etc. DH doesn't complain about the cost or try and take any credit!l for any of it!

We split the cost but I’m always the one who organises the lists otherwise he’d leave it until the week before Christmas then have a massive panic.

I also organise ALL presents for his family (mum and dad, sister who is 43) and x1 niece and x1 nephew.

Well that needs to stop this year. If you have already bought the gifts return them. Tell him he today he needs to sort his side of the family.

As for the gifts for your kids, I’m very petty so on the card or tag would write From Mum
